Fact: a single photo cannot represent the entire dynamic range of light in a scene. The picture is usually either too dark or too bright, or both. Hydra allows you to overcome this limitation by merging a number of photos with different exposure settings to create a natural image that is much closer to what your eyes actually see. Hydra can also artistically push contrasts to increase drama and emotions in your pictures beyond reality. This new version of Hydra has been optimized for the latest macOS enhancements and it provides native Metal support with maximum performance, in addition to a more modern and simpler user interface.
